Here's a good that advertising does: letting people know how your product or services address some pressing need.

explain what pressing needs this BMW adv addresses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8UPg6hyDBg

The pressing need to have an electric car you enjoy driving. It may not be your need, but to some people, it is.

It doesn't mean there are no problems with ads today.

You've confused an individual instance with the general category to an extraordinary extent here.

you know, I was just making a point, not compiling an exhaustive list of the ads that are not about pressing needs

But what point were you making? If I say "not all humans are over 6ft" and you say "Well what about LeBron James?" are you making a point?
